what we see in the louisiana law, like louisiana, that have trigger laws, which would, basically, allow them to outlaw abortion, the minute that roe is overturned. that is what louisiana has, and sees them blowing past. it is what is seeing them out of the committee, to louisiana, and to criminalize abortion, and to move beyond providers to, actually, targeting women who are seeking health care, and charging them with murder. so, when we hear experts, and people who are raising the alarm around this draft opinion, it is not just histrionics. it is very important that everyone who is watching us tonight, finding that the broad language, within the draft opinion, really does put, on the table, everything from the right to interracial a merry, to prevent sterilization, all those protected by the right to policy, and that could all be up for discussion. >> let's walk us through it, what would the reversal of roe v. wade lead for other landmark supreme court decisions? >> so, for example, there are many rights that we think of, that are protected under the constitution. i think it is importa

you look at what's happening in louisiana today.king away women's right for life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. our right to be a full citizen. our right. and the point i made you played, america's men need to wake up. they are literally -- they have to imagine what it would be like for ten months to have zero bodily autonomy, to not know what's going to happen to your body, whether you're going to survive a pregnancy, whether you will be forever changed medically. these are the consequences of bringing a pregnancy to full term. and so when women make that decision to have a baby, it is a joyful decision that they are making. but if you take away that right and require forced pregnancies, you are literally undermining their basic civil rights, their basic human rights and their ability to decide what happens to their body. >> senator kirsten gillibrand of new york, thank you for your time today. appreciate it. >>> tomorrow russia celebrates its victory day holiday but they haven't won in ukraine and reports say putin may issue a
